ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating how different techniques for activating irrigation solutions can improve the cleaning of root canals, which are the spaces inside teeth that can become infected or damaged. The goal is to see how well these techniques help the cleaning solution penetrate deeper into the canal and reduce the amount of bacteria present. This is important for treating endodontic disease, or infections related to the tooth's root.

To participate in the study, individuals must have teeth that need root canal treatment but are not currently causing any pain. Candidates should have healthy gums and should not have any signs of infection, like pus. The study is open to both men and women aged between 18 and 80. However, people with certain health conditions, such as systemic diseases or those who are pregnant, cannot participate. If you join the trial, you can expect to undergo a standard root canal procedure with the added benefit of contributing to research that may improve future treatments for similar conditions.
